To: a fool in paradise

They turned a screenplay writing competition into a film festival. I don’t believe one winning screenplay was ever made into a movie. And I can’t think of one musical act that ever hit big either.

Hanson made it big. They weren’t an official act, someone saw them performing on a sidewalk, signed them up, and struck gold.

A guy named Ed Sheeran did ok.

Junior Brown was the best thing to come out of Austin. Used to play at the Continental Club for years before the whole SXSW hit. I encourage all FReepers to give him a listen.
